v Blackpool

[sinkov]

If they can do it now, why were they not allowed to play like that under Dyche?

My opinion, for what it's worth, because playing like that against the likes of Blackpool and Luton is feasible for these players, trying to pass the ball around and football the PL top ten off the park, would have led to disaster. Let's be honest, this football, good as it is to watch, currently has us placed 15th in the Championship, we'd have been relegated by Christmas playing like this in the PL.

Fair comment, sinkov. I am not suggesting that the PL and the Championship are one and the same. However, there are teams in the PL that are not that good. Yet we played the same way irrespective of the opposition. How many games did we have more than 40% of the possession? Were 19 teams better than us in that respect?
